I'm looking for some resources.... I have one ov Vogue's vintage patterns for a 1938 (? or so) evening gown, which I am planning to make for an event in February. My husband would like to "match" me, but I'm not so familiar with men's clothing during this time period in general, nor am I knowledgeable about where to get patterns, etc. I figure his is going to be the harder of the two (I made the gown before, but lost too much weight, so now I need to remake). Any thoughts about where to look for patterns for men's suits in the 1930's?
